Reports for LNC meeting
by James Lark 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

Dear colleagues: I hope all is well with you. In a separate message I shall send you my reports for the upcoming LNC meeting. Specifically, I shall send you my Region 5, Campus Organizing, and International Representative reports, in addition to the Employment Policy and Compensation Committee report sent in my capacity as EPCC chair and the 2018 Awards Committee report sent in my capacity as a committee member. Incidentally, I had hoped to provide the reports sooner; however, the combination of international travel and the desire to provide more complete reports led me to wait until today. As some of you may know, I had the honor of delivering an address on Friday at the annual European Students For Liberty conference ("LibertyCon 2018") in Belgrade, Serbia. As usual, I was very impressed by the young Libertarians I met at the conference; such bright, talented, articulate, and nice Libertarians increase my confidence about the future success of the liberty movement. As always, thanks for your work for liberty. As always, I look forward to seeing you in Denver. Take care, Jim James W. Lark, III Dept. of Systems and Information Engineering Applied Mathematics Program, Dept. of Engineering and Society Affiliated Faculty, Dept. of Statistics University of Virginia Advisor, The Liberty Coalition University of Virginia Region 5 Representative, Libertarian National Committee

Fwd: LNC meeting item
by Caryn Ann Harlos 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

I request ten minutes for this agenda item ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Keith Laube <laubeeng(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Apr 15, 2018 at 2:46 PM Subject: LNC meeting item To: <caryn.ann.harlos(a)lp.org> We need to be gathering and sharing the number of registered Libertarians. I recently received the 2017 annual report which includes a graph of the number of dues paying members since 1998. Our dues paying members during the past decade have been about 14,000 to 15,000. We should track this, but we publicize this number too much. What we should be publicizing is the 700,000 (my guess) nationwide registered Libertarians. A few years ago I brought this up to our membership chair and the issue was that it was hard to obtain and one cannot register as a Libertarian in some states. I believe we could get these numbers with a little effort and we could count dues paying members in states where one cannot register "L". *I would be willing to obtain and track these numbers if so delegated.* I believe that the number of registered Libertarians has been increasing. I think a person would be more likely to donate if they new our membership was 700,000 and growing instead of 15,000 and steady. It is really about building momentum and optimism using data. People want to be part of a team moving in a positive direction toward a common goal. Please share with the LNC, perhaps at your meeting in Denver next week. Unfortunately I will be on a backcountry ski trip and will not be in attendance. You did a great job at the Colorado LP Convention last month.

Connecticut Legislators
by Justin O'Donnell 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

LNC Members, I just spoke with the LPCT Chair, Dan Reale, and he informed me that he has been speaking to a group of State Reps in Connecticut about switching parties. He tells me at least 2 of the Reps are ready to make the switch, however just have concerns about reelection. Both are Freshman Republicans, who won their districts in 2016 by 20 point margins against incumbent Democrats. Mr Reale believes that if the LNC could help with funds for their reelection, then he could ease their minds about the switch, and I have offered to get both of those reps in touch With Representatives Dyer and Phinney from NH to answer any questions they may have and would like to ensure that members of National Leadership would be willing to speak with them as well, before we discuss allocating funds for them.
